From being named this year’s Homecoming King to dribbling a ball up the court, Marcus Webb is well known around Centennial. Webb has been part of the Life Skills program for the past 4 years and will be graduating in June.

“He’s grown up a lot. He’s come a long way, but with the help of the teachers, it’s made him a better student now,” Marcus’ mother, Margaret said. “He’ll be able to take [the skills he’s learned] with him when he transitions out of high school.”
